De-loused in the Comatorium is the Mars Volta's 1st studio album.
The hour long tragedy takes us through the tale of a man named Cerpin Taxt, as he attempts to kill himself by ingesting morphine and rat poison.
The attempt fails, and he falls into a coma for the next 7 days, in which he travels through the dream world of the Comatorium. At the end of the 7 days, he arises only to find that the world is unsatisfactory, and he jumps off a bridge.
The story is based upon a friend of Cedric Bixler-Zavala [Lead singer], Julio Venegas.
Before I get into the details, let me first say that I am absolutely in love with this album. If you haven't heard it yet, you have two options. You can either go out and get the album, or you can expect to have a random kick-to-your-balls happen at any given second. If you would like to prevent your scrotum from being a sloppily made, trailer park style scrambled egg sac, stop now, go to Youtube/Songza/Quik-E-Mart, and get some of the songs from this album (track listing below).
Of course, if you don't feel like doing any of these I have included the videos for each song on every page.
